Sealab 2021
Drebbel was honored in an episode of the cartoon Sealab 2021 during a submarine rescue of workers
on a research station in the Arctic. A German U-boat captain fired a pistol in celebration at the
mention of Drebbel, to shouts of, "Sieg Heil! Cornelis Drebbel!" Also, on the Sealab 2021 Season 3
DVD, Cornelis Drebbel has two DVD commentaries devoted to the story of his life. However, the first
is highly inaccurate and the narrator of the second gets easily distracted, so much so that he spends
most of the eleven minutes of commentary talking about the languages of northern Europe and the
domestic policies of the Swiss.

The Sealab crew attempts a daring rescue mission to Ice Station Zebra, one of whose inhabitants has
turned to cannibalism. They are accompanied by a German who "came with the sub," bears more
than a passing resemblance to Jürgen Prochnow and is given to firing his pistol inside the sub and
shouting "Sieg Heil, Cornelius Drebbel!" Unfortunately, the two inhabitants of Ice Station Zebra cannot
be rescued due to a lack of wetsuits, thanks to Debbie packing an attractive dress for herself instead.
The episode ends with a rousing rendition of the chorus of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary."
